Give an appropriate definition of the God Squad and argue whether the proportion of GS members in the RHP population is significantly larger or smaller than in the general population, or not significantly different. Your argument can be causal or you can find some data.

Many people do not participate in the forums; and of those who do, not all participate in a manner that shows their spirituality or group allegiances or memberships.

This is an interesting idea. I can only offer an anedotal opinion. I believe that there is a higher percentage of GS on this site than the genreal population. I also believe that there is a higher percentage of atheist here than the general population. Having said that, both of these groups tend to be very passionate about their beliefs , thus tending to be more vocal.

GS?
girl scouts???
actually the reason more non believers and other religions are here is due to the fact it is a global chess site and xtianity isnt the only religion .also due to the fact that chess players are more intelligent than the general populace.we tend to investigate and question things.
